Making a house a home...

This weekend Chad's parents came into town and every time they come, we get projects done around the house. Let me show you what I mean:Chad's dad put up new plant hangers for our patio, installed a hose caddy (you don't know how much you like those things until you don't have one), the kids have a towel hook in their bathroom, my little stick figure family is up in the hallway (I think I might change the ribbon color. What would you go with?), and my favorite mirror ever is now hung above our dresser. I love it! All that work motivated Chad and I to get a few of our own projects done, so I hung the Chinese lanterns in the corner of Brooklyn's room and Chad and I created a collage above the fireplace. I am so glad to have so many projects done in such a short time. Now who else wishes their father in law was handy?

P.S. Now that I am looking at all these pictures, I am realizing that my house is so beige!
